or Do Pirates Like Snow?
Some of the many imponderables uttered by my children.
This is going to be my record of life (because I don't scrapbook, never kept baby books, and have a horrible memory) and the things that happen as a not-so-patient stay-at-home-mom. I'm trying to deepen my faith, but hoping life doesn't cover me in mud.

It Was Not Meant To Be (With Witnesses)

K didn't have school today or the rest of the week and Bug doesn't have school the rest of the week. I'm hoping we're able to get some good family time in doing crafty things and whatever we feel like.

Today, K, Fixit, and I took the new van (new to us, 2002 doesn't rank as new in anyone's book) and headed to the grocery store. Woo Hoo! Field Trip! They were suitably impressed with the new wheels.

This afternoon, Bug came into the house ALL EXCITED! Riding her bike as a two-wheeler has been the bane of her existance ever since the beginning of summer. She decided that she was fine on her training wheels and DIDN'T NEED to ride it as a two-wheeler. That is, until today, she told me that she could ride it and I HAD to come see.

I figured this was a photo op waiting to happen. Here's what happened:

Getting ready...

Getting set.......

We never did achieve GO!

I'm pretty sure it was just stage fright and the performing this daring feat in front of a live audience. So, after she gets over her mad at not being able to do it again, I'll have to start lurking by the bathroom window to see if I can witness this act daring act of survival.

About Me

Hi, My name is Traci. I'm married to my college sweetie. We literally met in college chemistry, so the chemistry has always been there! We have been married for 13 years with three beautiful girls, ages 8, 5, and 3 and two angel boys. Our girls are K, almost 9, who attends the local Catholic grade school and is in 3rd grade. Daughter #2 is Bug, age 5; she is attending the local public school in their brand new 4K program. Daughter #3 is Fixit - age 3. She stays at home with me during the day and is my "helper."
I'm a stay-at-home-mom, but it wasn't a willing transition from the working world. But, I don't know if it will be a willing transition back to the working world when I can make it back. I'm really enjoying staying at home with my kids and being there to help the neighbors out by watching their kids when they get off the bus.
I'm trying to become a better Catholic wife and mother. This will be my 2nd year teaching 7th grade Cathechism class - I volunteered and they gave me the hard grade. I survived the first year, so I'll be back to try it again this year.
I love to cook, have been crazy busy doing all my canning, and love to craft.
